The Trusts vision is a world where all children have the communication skills they need to fulfil their potential. We design programmes to help children catch up with speaking and understanding language. We train teachers to adapt their practice for children with long-term difficulties. We run two outstanding schools for children with the biggest barriers to communication. We also support families to develop their children’s speaking and understanding, and we push for government policy change.

The school is a four times outstanding special school committed to the highest quality integrated education, therapy and care. It is a non-maintained day and residential school for pupils aged between 4 – 11 years, who have severe and complex speech, language and communication difficulties together with other learning and/or behavioural difficulties. Working collaboratively as part of strong and supportive multi-disciplinary team of teachers, therapists, learning support assistants and care officers we create stimulating learning environments, where all pupils are enabled to communicate as effectively as possible, individuals are valued and achievement is celebrated.
